Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) Your computer comes with built-in 10/100/1000 megabit per second (Mbit/s) twistedpair Ethernet networking capability, which you can use to connect to a network, including a Gigabit Ethernet network, or to a cable or DSL modem. ® Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to store and retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and email; or connect to the Internet. You can also use Ethernet to share files between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your PowerBook automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don't need an Ethernet crossover cable when connecting to other Ethernet devices. • Use 2-pair category 3 (or higher) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet network. • Use 2-pair category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cables to connect to a 100Base-T Ethernet network. • Use 4-pair category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cables to connect to a 1000Base-T Ethernet network.
